Mika,

You may also want to try out the METS Java API (or other tools) available at  
http://www.loc.gov/standards/mets/mets-tools.html to see what suits you best.

Scott.

The Harvard METS toolkit gives you an convenient (though DOM-like) API  
for the METS data model, takes care of some of the housekeeping, and  
it has logic to prevent schema mistakes:

http://hul.harvard.edu/mets/

There's also a toolkit that helps you build a whole submission  
package, including the METS. It ought to work with SWORD too; see:
http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DSpace_SIP_Toolkit

(If you develop any tricks or procedures for using it with SWORD,  
please add them to that wiki page!)

Hi Stuart,

Actually I've been using Sword PHP library and it seems great. The
only thing I've noticed, is that if I run, say 10 deposits in a row,
my servlet container hangs and Java gives me the following memory
error. Now this makes me wonder if there's some leakage somewhere in
DSpace SWORD implementation or in PHP SWord library?

HTTP ERROR: 500
PermGen space
RequestURI=/neuroportti/handle/0/23
Caused by:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks,
Mika

 Hi Mika,

 I don't know what framework / language / environment you want to use
 this in, but the SWORD PHP library (http://php.swordapp.org/) contains a
 METS packager. It works as follows:

 require('packager_mets_swap.php');

 // Create a new package with the root and directory of the input files,
 and the root and directory of the created package
 $package = new PackagerMetsSwap($rootin, $dirin, $rootout, $fileout);

 // Add metadata to the package
 $package-setType($test_type);
 $package-setTitle($title);
 $package-setAbstract($abstract);
 foreach ($creators as $creator) {
   $package-addCreator($creator);
 }

 // Add a file to the package
 $package-addFile($filename, $mimetype);

 // Now deposit the package
 require(swordappclient.php);
 $sac = new SWORDAPPClient();
 $dr = $sac-deposit($depositurl, $username, $password, $onbehalfof,
 $filename, $packageformat, $pacakgecontenttype);

 I've been thinking of writing a web service front end to this, to make a
 packaging service (POST metadata and files, and it returns a package),
 or to make a deposit proxy service (POST metadata and files, SWORD
 deposit target and authentication details, and it will make the package
 and deposit it). If you think this might be a useful service, get in
 touch.

 Thanks,

Hi Mika,

I've just run some tests depositing 100 items in a row from the PHP library, 
and it seemed to work fine. Indeed, with an earlier version of DSpace we 
deposited 1/3rd million items into DSpace, with 4 concurrent threads (using a 
custom Java SWORD load test tool) and it worked fine. 
http://blog.stuartlewis.com/2009/01/19/dspace-at-a-third-of-a-million-items/

This page has a good description of PermGen, and a JSP page that allows you to 
watch the memory usage. What container and version are you using?
